Gee dear—and All of You:
You and I should feel complimented to know that, for the record, Shan has devoted all but the first and last paragraphs of his letter to us! I rather expected as much when I injected my comments. How that boy does love an argument! Once a year is enough to give up valuable family space to such topics, don’t you think?
As for Dad’s “cellar” remark, it referred to his financial and not his political outlook, at the time. In fact, I don’t remember that either politics or economics caused him too much worry—he always concentrated on us!
Carolyn, your letter shows that you really keep up on events, and your comments were worthwhile. We consider you a very valuable member of our family group.
Kay, those pictures are “super.” Without an invitation to do so, I affixed my name to two that I would love to have, sometime. I am sure that the “hunting” picture would be used by some magazine as a fall issue “cover girls” number, if you would send it in. Why don’t you try it?
All the letters are packed full of interesting history—each round is a definite contribution for the record.
The affixed “label” was on the delicious quart bottle of Tom ‘n’ Cherries that Shan sent in his Christmas box, with two 1946 versions of “Alice in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass,” that I enjoyed reading so much,—and now the sisters are taking turns at them. If any of you would like to read them, let me know, and I will start a “lending library.” (In fact, I don’t think that would be a bad idea, with all the good books that are the collective property of this family).
Aren’t those articles about Ann interesting? She is a wonderful girl, I think. I’m so glad to know that they have an apartment now, Helen, and would like to have their address soon.
Gene, I just read your letter to Gee, and I’m so glad to know you are so pleased with your set-up. Be sure to tell us more about it when you write again.
How is the “bridal gown” coming, Irene? You will have to get some good pictures of that wedding for the chain. The time will slip by, quickly enough.
Everyone that you saw when you came to Ohio is as enthusiastic about your visit as you are, Pauline. That should be annual occurrence for you.
Don’t forget to send the boy’ pictures before too long, Rose. I never think that Kodaks do children justice. Pauline says that you are planning a trip to Ohio this Spring. Don’t give up the idea, now. Maybe I can get in on it, too.
The courage of you, Dan, taking Sean all the way to Oklahoma! How did you manage without Eloise? Do you like your new home?
Well, this is the end of my paper, so—I promise to keep all of you in my prayers during Lent.
Love,
Sadie
